EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of the meat trade, showcasing the various stages involved in preparing and distributing meat from the farm to the consumer. Taken by an English photographer in the 1920s, this image provides a fascinating glimpse into a vital industry during that era. The photograph showcases Hereford bullocks from New Zealand and cattle bred for beef in Queensland, Australia. It also features sheep being transported to slaughterhouses and abattoirs where they are slaughtered and prepared for distribution. The carcasses are then dressed, cleaned, and wrapped in cloth before being stored in cold storage facilities. The scene shifts to Manchester Docks in England, where porters handle crates of meat destined for Smithfield Market - London's central market at that time. This bustling hub ensures hygienic methods are employed throughout the entire process. This image not only highlights historical aspects of commerce but also emphasizes how crucial international trade was even back then. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and advancements within this industry. Preserved within a private collection, this print offers us a window into early twentieth-century practices while shedding light on Canada's role as part of North America's thriving meat trade network.
